Modify face - Scale feature

Menu access : Shape | Toolbox | Modify face

Description :

Allows to apply a scaling to a feature.

The shape to modify must be non associative.

We call feature a set of faces that define an operation (pocket, boss, drilling...) but without any associativity information.

General philosophy :

1. Select the faces to modify.

2. Choose and set the type of scaling to  apply.

3. give the scaling factor.

Available option(s):

the option  Selecting mode = FACE  or  LOOP  allows to select a single face or a feature by selectiong an edge loop on a face.

You can choose between 4 different scaling:

• SCALING FROM POINT: apply the scaling around a fix point.

• AXIS SCALING: apply the scaling according to an axis.

• PLANAR SCALING: apply the scaling according to a plane.

• SCALING WITH 3 FACTOR: apply the scaling along 3 axis with 3 scaling factors.
